How are you backing up?

I ask partly out of morbid curiosity: How many of you just don't backup savegames? Are you really okay with the possibility of losing hundreds of hours of progress to a hard drive failure?

But I also want to know: Am I missing something? Is the backup process really this crazy? As I understand it:

1. It is *only* possible to copy data from one drive to another by plugging them both into the console. (Not even disk images work.) 2. For downloaded games, you *cannot* copy save data separately from the downloaded game. 3. There's no bulk copy of any kind -- you have to check each game you want to move or copy, every time you want to do it. 4. You can't do anything else while it copies.

...that can't be right, can it?

I mean, most of us -- at least, those of us who care about our data -- will be running software like Backblaze (since 2007), which backs up any data we save to the Internet, within minutes, in the background. Nintendo's solution is to tap files *one at a time* and then have the system be unusable for the next few hours, and then remember to do it again, on a regular basis.

And it's frustrating how close this is to being workable. A simple "Copy save data to system memory" button would make this reasonable.

I can find articles [as old as May of 2012](http://wiiudaily.com/2012/05/nintendo-to-offer-wii-u-cloud-storage-for-save-games-and-player-profiles/) and [as recently as last year](http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/29/9634508/new-nintendo-accounts-will-support-cloud-saves-facebook-twitter-sign) saying Nintendo will be doing cloud saves. That would also solve the problem, but unless I missed an announcement, that hasn't happened yet, either.

But no one complains about this, which makes me wonder: Do the rest of you know something I don't? (In which case, it'd make a great FAQ entry.) Or are you really tapping all your games one at a time? Or are you just praying your hard drive never fails? (It will.)
